Continuing with its five-year-long association with Miami Art & Design Week, luxury car brand Lexus showcased an installation by Dutch solar designer Marjan van Aubel called 8 Minutes and 20 Seconds at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (ICA Miami), which provided a window into its all-electric future.
The installation marks the second year of Lexus's partnership with ICA Miami.
Named after the duration it takes for light from the sun to reach Earth, and created by the Amsterdam-based van Hubel, 8 Minutes and 20 Seconds was inspired by the new and advanced LF-ZC Lexus
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) concept car that was showcased at the inaugural Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo in October 2023. The LF-ZC stands for Lexus Future Zero-emission Catalyst, which aims to achieve more versatile vehicle packaging by minimising core components.
Van Aubel has earned global recognition for bringing solar energy into everyday life through aesthetically pleasing solutions. As a passionate advocate for sustainability within the art and design sector, her practice and research have yielded award-winning furniture and lighting design, along with striking public installations.
She is also a co-founder of the world's first Solar Biennale, and her noteworthy works are displayed in esteemed institutions such as the MoMA in New York, the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
